How it spreads
Viruses can spread from human contact with animals. Scientists think MERS started in camels,according to the WHO.With SARS, scientistssuspected civet cats(狸猫)were to blame.
When it comes to human-to-human transmission of the viruses, often it happens when someone comes into contact with the infected person‘s secretions(分泌物).
Depending on how virulent (有毒的)the virus is, a cough, sneeze or handshake could cause exposure. The virus can also be transmitted by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Caregivers (护理人员) can sometimes be exposed by handling a patient’s waste,according to the CDC.

一种新的中国冠状病毒,是SARS病毒的一个堂兄弟,自去年12月在中国武汉爆发以来,已经感染了1000多人。科学家LeoPoon首先破译了这种病毒,他认为它很可能是从动物身上开始传播到人类身上的。香港大学医学院公共卫生学院的病毒学专家Poon说:“我们知道这会导致肺炎(PoT),然后对抗生素治疗无效,这并不奇怪,但就死亡率而言,SARS杀死了10%的个体。”世界卫生组织向各国提供了如何做好准备的指导,包括如何监测病人和如何治疗病人。
